Newark police are actively seeking a suspect responsible for an assault that occurred inside an apartment building lobby. The incident took place on August 1 at approximately 9:45 p.m. at a residence located on Kenneth A. Gibson Boulevard. According to authorities, the suspect, described as a male visitor, was seen in surveillance video interacting with the building's concierge, an engineer, and a security guard. When the concierge questioned the man's presence, the suspect became aggressive. He first grabbed a paper bag from the counter, prompting the concierge to attempt to retrieve it. In response, the suspect threw a small flower pot from the counter, which struck the concierge in the face and shattered on the floor. He then threw a second item and a third item that appeared to pass over the concierge's head before fleeing the scene. The attack resulted in the concierge suffering a cut to his chin and a broken tooth. He received medical treatment at University Hospital. Police have not yet identified the suspect by name or provided a detailed physical description beyond his attire at the time of the incident, which included a tank top, a dark-colored baseball cap, and a backpack. Investigators are urging the public to review the released security footage and come forward with any information that could help identify the man. Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda Sr. has asked anyone with knowledge of the suspect's identity to contact the Police Division's 24-hour Crime Stopper tip line at 1-877-NWK-TIPS (1-877-695-8477). The investigation is ongoing, and authorities continue to appeal for community assistance in locating the individual responsible for the assault.
